so i have been wrecked from every piece of flesh in my being by the all consuming powerful, captivating love and redemption of The Holy Spirit who is JESUS CHRIST.
yeah.
Lets take it back a few steps….. My recent time with the Lord has revolved around a door, a door you say? yes, i was confused to.
"I know your works and have set before you an open door, and no one can shut it for you have a little strength have kept my word and have not denied my name." - Revelations 3:3
" But i will tarry in Ephesus until Pentecost. For a great and effective door has opened to me and there are many adversaries…" - 1 corinthians 16: 9-10So, i am continually asking and praying for the Lord to just show me what this door was, what were the adversaries that were going to come up against it? Naturally i get frustrated when the Lord decides to be his beautiful self and only reveal himself to me in his good timing, so i began to ask him to speak boldly to me and, to rock my world with an interpretation of this message….this is where he takes me.
"Then He said, "Go out, and stand on the mountain before the Lord." And behold, the Lord passed by, and a great and strong wind tore into the mountains and broke the rocks in pieces before the Lord, but the Lord was not in the wind; and after the wind an earthquake, but the Lord was not in the earthquake; and after the earthquake a fire, but the Lord was not in the fire; and after the fire a still small voice. " -1 kings 19:11-12God did not reveal himself to Elijah in a spectacle, but instead with gentleness. I then decided okay, Lord i will be patient, i mean you've kind of made it clear….
Weeks pass
Then this weekend i attending a missions conference called World Mandate held by the Antioch Church in Waco, Texas. This is where the Lord changed my life!
During worship a friend of mine speaks truth to me on the Holy Spirit and his power and reads to me scripture, which reads.
"So i say to you, ask, and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you." - Luke 11:9See Paul was planning a journey to Corinth, however the Lord opened an unexpected and effective door in Ephesus for him, and these past few weeks i have felt as though i am on my way to Ephesus, a place i was not expecting to go or dwell in on my way through life; to Corinth. So i have been knocking, inquiring the Lord to reveal and open up this door to me and he did and behind that door was the Holy Spirit and just like Paul waiting until Pentecost, i was waiting for the Holy Spirit to fall upon me. The door was finally able to open to me despite the enemy trying to press against it; my adversary.
An incredible door has opened up to me, it has changed my life forever, i am forever changed. Never stop knocking because i finally made it to Ephesus and now i face forward journeying to my next destination on the way to Corinth.
